Devas then started Yagna and thereafter Brahma asked to brg Sacrificial pole to fix nearby lake (Brahmasara) and asked Dharma to place a slab on head of Gayasura. Devas then pleased wh his scere votn gave him the boon that holy cy would be named after him (as Gaya) and they (Devas) perennially would stay there.

GAYA

The pensula was domated by Gaya's more powerful neighbourg kgdoms of Goguryeo (Koguryo), Baekje (Paekche), and Silla, but Gaya, often the fotten enty this perd, was neverthels rich iron ore and their craftsmen beme highly skilled at fashng iron objects such as armour and weapons. The high level of culture achieved by the Gaya stat would fluence Japan, their most important tradg partner.

STORY OF GAYA

The tradnal dat for the Gaya nferacy are 42-532 CE, however, morn historians prefer to emphasise the enty's more certa existence om the 2nd century CE.

The Gaya nferatn produced fe ironwork, fluential stoneware, & the celebrated strged stment the gayagm.

The Gaya nferatn prospered due to s fertile agricultural lands, marime tra, and above all, s rich iron ore poss. There are few tails available on the workg of the Gaya stat or daily life, but we n image a siar mol to the ntemporary Three Kgdoms where a royal fay domated a hierarchil aristocracy which, turn, erned the provc domated by a farmg peasantry.

Throughout their history, the Gaya stat were nstantly harassed by their neighbours the Silla and Baekje kgdoms and nsequently never had the opportuny to form a more centralised state which polil stabily might have permted. From the mid-4th century CE, Baekje beme more terrorial amb durg the reign of Kg Gnchogo and attacked Gaya lands. Then when the Silla kgdom expand the 6th century CE, Gaya's alliance wh Baekje did no good at all and Bon-Gaya was nquered and stroyed (532 CE), as was Daegaya (562 CE) and the other important Gaya towns.
